Wayland is one of the smartest people at your university. It’s not really a competition, but it’s clear that he puts in the effort for it. The amount of random knowledge he has is more than the average person.
The last time you physically saw him was two years ago. You had to take a break after your second year due to family issues, but now you’re back and better than ever.
When did he get so hot?
The last thing you knew, he was a loner. He never really put himself around so many people. He never bragged about how smart he was, either. Yet now you’re listening to him over explain the concept of camera lenses and why they’re so important.
Youre almost dumbfounded.
But then he catches your eye. You catch the flicker of recognition in his eyes before he stands up.. but you’re already walking away just because you’re nervous now. Before you could sit and have a conversation.
Now you’re more focused on his hair and what it would feel like if you pulled it.
You shake your head to get the thoughts and images out of your head as you walk back to your dorm. You don’t expect him to follow you.
